Under Price, the city has faced criticism over race relations and turmoil within the police department.

"People want change, they want transparency, they want a government that's open to them and that cares about them. And that's what I'm going to campaign on, is making sure the city has a vision that includes its citizens and works on a long term plan," Peoples said.

In a speech Tuesday, Peoples also called for a better partnership between the city and schools to reduce conflict, accountability on public projects and a push for economic development that benefits all Fort Worth residents.
